Veterans Stand Down donation

Delaware State News - 6/28/2018

Delaware Veterans Commission member Barry B. Newstadt hands a check for $500 from the Jewish War Veterans to Liz Byers-Jiron for the 2018 Delaware Veterans Stand Down scheduled for Sept. 21, at Dover's Shutte Park. Ms. Byers-Jiron is the organizer of the Stand Down, now in its 10th year. Stand downs are events for veterans who need assistance, some of whom are homeless. The Stand Down is one of the annual projects carried out by the Veterans Awareness Center Foundation in Greenwood, a 501c3 organization created by Liz Byers-Jiron, her husband Bill, and their daughter Mindy. The presentation took place at the Commission's monthly meeting on June 17.
